The predictable howls of outrage have already begun, but all that Donald Trump has really done is what he does so very often: he has spoken honestly about an issue that others prefer to ignore or tiptoe around, and has once again demonstrated a preference for stating the truth in a colorful and memorable way rather than respect politically correct niceties. This is, actually, one of the reasons why leftists hate him with such incandescent fury.
There is more. Read the rest here.

One can say it more closely applies to Bernie. Also, what about Adam Schitt? I’ve heard him bloviate countless times about Ukraine, but has he ever spoken up in support of Israel?

Nearly, but not quiet two thousand years ago, the Apostle Paul, a Jew and a Lawyer, wrote, “A Jew is a Jew on the inside.” As a Jew, and as a Lawyer, Paul knew of what he wrote. Paul was writing to the Romans who would need an explanation of such things to have a full understanding.
“28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”
schumer, a smart-aleck, (we heard that when he said that the two Justices, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, would reap the “whirlwind.”) has publicly said that he is the ‘top-ranking Jew’ in government; but has really just demonstrated the words of Paul.

What difference does his religion make?
Categorize people by their religion?
AND if a person doesn’t act as you expect them to based on your ignorant stereotypical view of where they should stand then you are right in your ignorant attack?
A pretty good definition of bigotry.
Instead of attacking the person’s stance just attack the person.
“Traitor” if they disagree with you.
“Patriot” if they do agree.
somehistory says
Does schumer ‘practice his religion’? And why should he not stand up for his family heritage as opposed to standing with terrorists who want to wipe him and them off the map?
Rarely says
Who’s to judge? i.e, who’s to judge how a person decides which stance to take? There are many factors — country vs religion/ethnic background, background vs rules of law, etc.
e.g. many German-Americans fought for the U.S. in WWl and WWll. Were they wrong? Were they traitors to their heritage? Should Russian/Americans stand up for Putin and Ukrainian Americans for the Ukraine? If they don’t are they traitors to their heritage?
It seems these issues only arise when the person in question is Jewish. A muslim Palestinian/American standing up for Israel would be considered a patriot.
Kinda weird isn’t it?
somehistory says
If a person cannot see the difference in the mozlums of hamas and the citizens of Israel, that person is blind, and stupid. And if he stands up for hamas, he’s evil.
If I had a family member involved in a fight to the death with a monster, I would be a monster if I worked to help the monster destroy my family member.

To a degree I agree with you. But I don’t see why a Jew who isn’t solidly opposed to muslim terrorism is a JINO while a Christian taking the same position isn’t a CINO.
Muslim terrorism is regularly threatening and killing Christians everywhere — most notably in Africa and threatening to do so in Syria.
A Christian taking an unfavourable position is a treasonous leftist but when it’s Jew he’s always a Jewish something or other.
Perhaps you can explain it to me.

I do agree that Christians who support jihad are CINOs, just as Jews who support jihad are JINOs, and Hindus who support jihad are HINOs, and so on. Once one starts supporting an ideology that seeks to eviscerate one’s own faith, traitor to one’s own faith is the only way to describe that person
The whole “Palestinian” movement is a jihad, that has been running for over 75 years at this point, whose sole goal is first the destruction of the Jewish state, followed by the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the area. Just like what is being done to the Alawites now in the coastal areas of Syria

WE are to judge when you support terrorist who would wipe both America and Israel off the map if they could you are a traitor to both you elected office and your religion .If you are an elected official and are siding with people who actively attack Jews students in NYC or advocate violent attacks in America or aboard you are a traitor on more then one level to both country and your religion. I believe the current Pope is a traitor to his religion not condemning attacks on Christians in Africa by Moslems who want to wipe all Christian communities their out. Schumer makes it a point ,he claims he is an practicing Jew ,if you are a practicing Jew you cannot side with Hamas or other terror groups to appease some democratic progressives .If you where a “German America” elected to office in America and sided with the Nazis between 1942-1945 you would also face some blow back from other elected officials and the public .
Kind of weird not??
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You don’t see the connection b/w someone being a Jew and his support, or lack of it, for Israel? Seriously?
WPM says
I was addressing our Canada friend who like to play devils advocate to true traitors like Schumer who would sell out his country ,his religion that he says he practices ,and his soul to stay in power .Rarely points out he would be fine with “German Americans” backing Hitler during WW2 ,anyone calling out elected officials who clearly have no moral loyalty to their country and their God is wrong ?Who to judge ??How dare president evil orange man call Schumer a traitor to the religion he actively practices for backing murdering terrorist whose main mission statement is to kill all Jews?
Rarely says
Most, if not all, elected officials will have some strong feeling for their heritage. However, their elected position requires them to put that aside as much as they can in carrying out the duties of that elected position.
Some will have a different view than mine. That doesn’t make them traitors however wrong they appear to be to me. Of course it doesn’t matter because I’m not in a position of authority and have very little (if any) ability to affect public opinion.
But when those in authority draw a thick line between patriot and traitor, treat everyone who opposes anything they say in the most disparaging and divisive ways and uses the wheels of gov’t to try to destroy all opposition one has to question. As if those are the only reasons to question.

If there was a real difference b/w the US & Israel, such as… let’s say hypothetically, trade, then yeah, I’d expect the American Jew to pick America’s side over Israel. But the Gaza issue is not such an issue that pits Israel’s issue against America’s. For the Dems, the equation was different, since it pitted Israeli survival vs Democrat political interests of their Jew-hating bases of Leftists and muslims
This is not like, say, German Americans supporting Germany over the US

Schumer practices the religion of POWER and WEALTH for himself.

Infidel, thank you for “the whole “Palestinian” movement is a jihad. . .” including the quotation marks. Your comment is a great distillation of the fact that it’s simply Arab, Islamic, genocidal jihad and not a quest for a state for the “Palestinian” people.
somehistory says
I second that thank you
